Check the following:

If the 518 will still not illuminate, check any fuses in your power supply and the fuse in the inlet of the 518. If these are all intact, contact your dealer.
Audible hiss at high volume settings
The input dynamic range of any recordings you have are at maximum 16 bit. The reason for this is that CD and other consumer sources use a 16 bit standard. The analogue sources you have cannot achieve this kind of range. For comparison, analogue sources are likely to be of the order of:
∙FM Radio, 13 bits
∙
∙Cassette tape, 12 bits
∙LP, 11 bits.
Note that there may be a difference between the
The 518 has a 16 bit capability from input to output on analogue sources. When the volume is turned up high you may hear this dither as a hiss when the sources are stopped. This hiss is lower than the background noise of your recordings and is of no consequence.
No output with Meridian 565, DSP speaker or DAC
Many consumer products will mute when fed a signal in Professional format. If you have no sound – try setting Out to C.
No time display with Meridian DSP speaker
518 removes unnecessary subcode as a method of reducing jitter and therefore improving sound quality.
Because 518 does not pass on subcode, the time display feature on DSP5000 or DSP6000 becomes disabled. However the Meridian Comms system keeps the speaker updated on the current track number.
Communications not working between 518 and other
Meridian products.
If you have this problem check the connections carefully.
Are you using a mix of 200 and 500 mode units?
